Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was Glasgow Greg

A fascinating look at Walt Disney's last, unfinished project and the controversy that surrounded it. It was going to be Disneyland at the top of a mountain. A vacation destination where guests could ski, go ice skating, or be entertained by a Disney Imagineer-created band of Audio-Animatronic bears. In the summer, visitors could fish, camp, hike, or take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of a mountain. It was the Mineral King resort in Southern California, and it was Walt Disney's final passion project. But there was one major obstacle to Walt's dream: the growing environmentalist movement of the 1960s. In Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer provide an unprecedented look inside the Mineral King saga, from its origins at the 1960 Winter Olympics to the years-long environmental fight that eventually

Histoire de Lisbonne

Les azulejos qui couvrent les murs de Lisbonne racontent l'histoire d'une ville heureuse. Ce livre nous invite à découvrir un Lisbonne plus secret, où la mémoire et l'imaginaire se superposent.Dès l'Antiquité, les Phéniciens sont séduits par sa "rade délicieuse". Attirés par sa prospérité, les croisés s'en emparent en 1147, chassant les Maures, maîtres de la cité depuis plus de quatre siècles. Audacieux, pragmatiques, les Lisboètes se lancent alors dans le commerce maritime et font de leur ville la reine des mers. A l'heure des Grandes Découvertes, le roi Manuel le Fortuné fait édifier des chefs-d'oeuvre sur les rives du Tage, tandis que des caravelles déchargent des produits exotiques dont l'Europe ne peut plus se passer.Mais cet âge d'or cache une part d'ombre. Les bûchers de l'Inquisition s'allument, et bientôt Philippe II s'installe dans la "huitième merveille de la Castille". Redevenue capitale d'un Portugal indépendant, Lisbonne est détruite en 1755, par un gigantesque tremblement de terre. Le marquis de Pombal rêve d'en faire une ville des Lumières, mais elle n'a pas fini de souffrir. Les troupes napoléoniennes l'occupent, contraignant les souverains à s'exiler au Brésil. Leur liberté à peine retrouvée, les Lisboètes commencent à chanter le fado, cette tristesse de la tristesse. Après l'assassinat d'un roi et une éphémère république, ils subissent une longue dictature. Se réfugiant dans le passé, Lisbonne s'invente des traditions. Il faut attendre 1974 pour que les oeillets de saint Antoine fleurissent à nouveau.Dejanirah Couto, née à Lisbonne, est maître de conférences à l'Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes (IVe section).

Conservatorship: Inside California's System of Coercion and Care for Mental Illness Barnard Alex V.

Is involuntary psychiatric treatment the solution to the intertwined crises of untreated mental illness, homelessness, and addiction? In recent years, politicians and advocates have sought to expand the use of conservatorships, a legal tool used to force someone deemed "gravely disabled," or unable to meet their needs for food, clothing, or shelter as a result of mental illness, to take medication and be placed in a locked facility. At the same time, civil liberties and disability rights groups have seized on cases like that of Britney Spears to argue that conservatorships are inherently abusive.Conservatorship is an incisive and compelling portrait of the functioning--and failings--of California's conservatorship system. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with professionals, policy makers, families, and conservatees, Alex V. Barnard takes readers to the streets where

Královec. Město pohádka.

Make Královec Czech Again! Co ale doopravdy víme o dějinách Kaliningradu? Donedávna to byl jen kus Ruska mezi Polskem a Litvou, dnes možná základna pro útok na Západ. Píše se nová kapitola kaliningradských dějin – stejně jako pruské kořeny překryla sovětizace.O Přemyslu Otakarovi II. mluví především Češi, nejslavnějším rodákem z Königsbergu je samozřejmě Immanuel Kant. I jeho pomník se ale setkal – jako připomínka německé minulosti – s vandalismem. Na druhou stranu kaliningradští Rusové neradi vidí, když se do enklávy stěhují lidé z Petrohradu nebo Moskvy. Ještě nedávná prostupnost hranic jim dávala pocit větší sounáležitosti s Evropou a určité výjimečnosti. Dnes však vidíme především taktické rakety Iskander rozmístěné na hranicích NATO. To všechno je Kaliningrad, jeden z klíčů k tomu, jak porozumět další části mozaiky zvané Ruska federace. Reportáž polské rusistky Pauliny Siegień vychází z jejích častých novinářských cest do Kaliningradu v době před covidem a ruskou invazí na Ukrajinu a fascinací komplikovanou historií města.Kniha vychází v edici Prokletí reportéři v překladu Michaly Benešové.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky českýPočet strán 264Dátum uvedenia titulu 2023-10-18Rozmery 185x118x25Hmotnosť 242gTypPaperback

Historia de Cataluña

«Faltaba una síntesis de la historia de Catalu?a que partiera de losprimeros pobladores y llegara a las elecciones al Parlamento catalánde noviembre de 2003 -que supusieron el principio de un ciclo político diferente al poner fin al bipartidismo CiU-PSC dado que ERC duplicóel número de sus votantes-, una síntesis en un solo volumen perosuficientemente extensa. La eclosión bibliográfica de los últimosveinticinco a?os reclamaba un balance como el que aquí se propone,tratando de evitar tanto los inconvenientes del breviario ensayísticocomo la fragmentación característica de las obras enciclopédicas demuchos autores y varios volúmenes. Cuatro historiadores, que cuentancon el bagaje de las monografías publicadas como investigadores y desu experiencia divulgadora como profesores en distintas universidades, presentan un discurso interpretativo comprensible y coherentedirigido a un público amplio que busque una guía para circular por ellaberinto catalán.Este libro ha sido pensado no sólo para los habitantes de Catalu?asino para cualquier lector interesado en comprender la complejidadhistórica de la península Ibérica y deseoso de superar prejuicios yesquemas simplistas. En él se dice en castellano exactamente lo mismoque se dijo en la edición catalana original, y se muestra tanto lo que ha unido a los catalanes como lo que les ha dividido. Sobre la basede la romanización previa y la cristianización durante la antigüedadtardía, la Catalu?a actual es hija de la primera ocupación carolingia, de las conquistas de Ramon Berenguer IV en el siglo XII, de lainstitucionalización política y de la expansión mediterránea iniciadas en tiempos de Jaime I, de la cultura burguesa y del pactismo de labaja edad media, de la resistencia a un modelo de estado absolutista,de la industrialización empezada en el siglo XIX, de la Renaixençaliteraria, del catalanismo político y de la integración y promociónincompletas de la inmigración del siglo XX.»Albert Balcells

List veriacim

Kardinál Raniero Cantalamessa OFM Cap sa narodil v roku 1934. Člen Rádu menších bratov kapucínov, v roku 1938 bol vysvätený za kňaza. Neskôr získal doktorát z teológie v švajčiarskom Friburgu a z klasickej literatúry na Katolíckej univerzite Sacro Cuore v talianskom Miláne.V rokoch 1973 -1981 bol členom Medzinárodnej teologickej komisie.Od roku 1980 je pápežským kazateľom. Je pozývaný na rekolekcie a prednášky do rôznych častí sveta. Napísal mnoho kníh preložených do pätnástich jazykov. Svätý Otec František ho 25. októbra 2020 vymenoval za kardinála.List Rimanom sa často spája s teologickými spormi medzi katolíkmi a protestantmi. Je považovaný za text, ktorý treba prenechať teológom. V skutočnosti je to list všetkým veriacim, napísaný pre veľmi jednoduchých ľudí. Kresťania v Ríme boli predovšetkým otroci, ktorí nevedeli čítať ani písať. Je to najsilnejšia syntéza našej viery, ale aj najúčinnejší návod na duchovnú obnovu a najlepší plán novej evanjelizácie.

To save her family's ranch, Mikira Rusel is left with only one option: enter the Illinir, a treacherous, cross-country horse race known for its high body count as much as its enticing prize money.To have any chance of success, Mikira will have to recruit Arielle Kadar, a talented but unlicensed enchanter who creates golems in place of enchanted animals, and Damien Adair, a dashing young lord in the midst of a fierce succession battle.

Jewish Space Lasers

The strange tale of how one Jewish family --the Rothschilds--became a lightning rod for conspiracy theories over the course of the last 2 centuries . . .In 2018 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to share her suspicions that the California wildfires were started by 'space solar generators' which were funded by powerful, mysterious backers. Instantly, thousands of people rallied around her, blaming the fires on "Jewish space lasers" and, ultimately, the Rothschild family.For more than 200 years, the name "Rothschild" has been synonymous with two things: great wealth, and conspiracy theories about what they're "really doing" with it. Almost from the moment Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons emerged from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt to revolutionize the banking world, the Rothschild family has been the target of myths, hoaxes, bizarre

Radiophilia

A century ago, the emergence of radio, along with organized systems of broadcasting, sparked a global fascination with the 'wonder' of sound transmission and reception. The thrilling experience of tuning in to the live sounds of this new medium prompted strong affective responses in its listeners.This book introduces a new concept of radiophilia, defined as the attachment to, or even a love of radio. Treating radiophilia as a dynamic cultural phenomenon, it unpacks the various pleasures associated with radio and its sounds, the desire to discover and learn new things via radio, and efforts to record, re-experience, and share radio.Surveying 100 years of radio from early wireless through to digital audio formats like podcasting, the book engages in debates about fandom, audience participation, listening experience, material culture, and how media relate to affect and
